His MAPLE Act would make maple syrup eligible under the Seniors Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program.

Evidence

The current SFMNP regulation says eligible foods are "fruits, vegetables, honey, and herbs" and lists "maple syrup" as not eligible.

As of the current CFR update, maple syrup remains explicitly ineligible under SFMNP rules, so the requested expansion has not been delivered.

USDA's SFMNP page says the program provides access to locally grown "fruits, vegetables, honey and herbs."

The agency's program description still omits maple syrup from covered foods, reinforcing that the commitment remains unfulfilled.

Assessments

never unknown

Current federal SFMNP rules and USDA program guidance still list eligible foods as fruits, vegetables, honey, and herbs, and maple syrup remains excluded. On the evidence provided, the promised expansion has not been delivered and there is no indication of a serious legislative or executive attempt that achieved the change later.
